–PM on Kanhai scheduled for tomorrow

GOVERNMENT Pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh has performed post-mortem examinations on the bodies of the victims of last Tuesday’s Middle Street shooting rampage.
His findings are that pensioner Hugh Allister Paul and taxi dispatcher Vanessa Williams had both died from a single gunshot wound to their respective chests; the cause of death for police Lance Corporal Michael Forde was stated as a single gunshot wound to the head; and Police Constable Sherwin Pantlitz had died from gunshot wounds to the head delivered by a shotgun.
Paul was said to be walking along Middle Street when he was gunned down by the businessman, who allegedly went berserk and began shooting indiscriminately.
Vanessa Williams was killed as she sat at her workplace waiting for her relief to come and take over, while the two policemen were killed when they responded to the scene of the shooting. Policeman Forde had sustained his deadly injury while attempting to enter the salon in which the berserk businessman had been holing out.
Deryck Kanhai had battled police officers for more than three hours in an intense exchange of gunfire which had crippled a large section of the city, restricting movements as bullets filled the air.
